glacier Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Grenade! The best part is that the driver was claiming to be driving to Vancouver, WA. Another proud day to be an American. Quote
Dru Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 She would have been SOOOO surprised when she saw all the igloos, polar bears, etc. and realized she was in Canada! Quote

scott_harpell Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 So funny. Who just has a grenade kicking around in their car? Quote
murraysovereign Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 We just had one in the store this afternoon who said she hadn't had a chance yet to reset her watch to "Canadian Time" - whatever the Hell that is... Quote

Blake Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Umm, knowing some of the folks around here, I bet she was trying to get back home to VanWA and still couldn't find it. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Don't be so hard on the poor dame. It's a common mistake. Lots of people carry hand grenades in their glove boxes. You never know when something like that might come in handy. Unless you are a frequent traveler to Canada, it's just so easy to forget to remove your grenade. I think we need a public relations campaign called Grenade Awareness Month. You could have a billboard that has a checklist: Mirrors- Check, Seatbelts- Check, Gasoline - Check, Hand grenade - Check.

Ade Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 ABC News "The driver, a woman from Houston, was taken into custody but released after interviewers determined she hadn't known the grenade was in the car, Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman Tim Shields said. The woman's husband works for the U.S. military and is apparently stationed at Fort Lewis, south of Tacoma, he said." I'm sure the US Military will be most happy that they've found their grenade.

catbirdseat Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I got a logical explanation. Hubby was out on maneuvers. He's holding his grenade; he's about to pull the pin when his cell phone rings. It's his wife. She wants him to pick up some milk and eggs on the way home. Hubby fumbles for a pen to write with, absent-mindedly stick grenade in back pocket. Promptly forgets about grenade (because he's a guy). Finishes up his marching and heads home for the day. He sits down in his car and of course, he feels the grenade in the pocket and it is uncomfortable. He pulls it out and says, "damn I forgot all about this", and shoves it in the glove box. Turns on the radio and (because he is a guy) promptly forgets all about the grenade. Quote
Adam_Palmer Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I guess now the RCMP will turn over the grenade to the Canadian Armed Forces...Finally, we have a grenade now! Quote
arlen Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 The real tragedy is, who's going to blow up Vancouver WA now? Quote
glacier Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 "The driver, a woman from Houston..." Well, that explains a lot. Quote
